 .DISCUSSION...
 Areas of fog can be expected overnight and Wednesday morning, with 
 much of the remainder of Wednesday looking to be dry and pleasant. 
 However, another storm system will approach Wednesday night, 
 bringing rain chances back into the forecast Thursday. Flooding will 
 still be a concern with this next system, given the very saturated 
 ground and high water levels on many rivers, creeks, and streams, 
 however, it should be more isolated in nature than in recent days.
